Hello again! So, we've survived the most miserable month of them all.....just! February is now upon us and with is comes a whole bundle of special treats from your friends at Sportpool. Yes, that's right, we have been working hard on bringing you some big changes to the site and today we announce a brand new game for you to get your teeth stuck into.
Powered by our partners at 11kicks, we are proud to welcome an exciting Fantasy Football style game to the Sportpool website. I'm sure many of you have played similar variants of the game before whether it be online, with a newspaper or just between you and your mates, but this time you can play for serious money, every week, and even play among your friends in your own private league.
For those that are new to the world of Fantasy Football, basically you can create your ultimate team of 11 players that will go head to head with those of everybody else playing against you in your league. Points are allocated for such things as goals, assists, clean sheets and playing more than 60 minutes. Points can also be deducted for bookings and own goals etc. The person whose team comes out on top after the full program of matches have taken place, takes away the cash. There are also prizes for coming second or third, depending on the number of people taking part.
Whilst games are taking place, results are updated in real time and you can see just how everybody else is getting on too. There is also a great chat function too making the game completely interactive!
So, why not give it a go? There is a great demo video on the site which can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11831136
And we would even like to invite you to join the first ever Sportpool private league! Simply follow the link below and enter the access code Wn2m6 and once you have selected your 11 players, simply enter in your details and away you go!

New year.....Win Pounds DON'T Lose pounds!!!
Is it just me or is your entire minifeed on Facebook taken up by people who seemingly munched their way through a years' supply of chocolate over Christmas and are now proclaiming that it will be another 12 months before a single morsel of the brown stuff will be consumed again? Yes, the festive period is now over and now everyone is trying to drop a dress size, in a desperate search for that bikini body, which, if they're honest, probably didn't exist prior to Christmas anyway!!
I guess we are all guilty of over-eating at Christmas time. It's difficult to avoid this when everyone suddenly thinks they are Britain's Best Baker and brings out the Jamie Oliver cookbook they received in their stockings the year before! How many of you endured, erm, I mean enjoyed, quiches, cookies and pies lovingly constructed by mothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles who under normal circumstances would be more than capable of putting together an adequate meal but because it's Christmas feel it necessary to demonstrate their distinctly average cookery skills with a selection of pastries and cakes?! So is it any wonder that in the absence of proper meals during the party season that we all pile on the pounds?!
The true winner of the great festive bake off though is, of course, Davina McCall, who will probably be booking her luxury holiday to Barbados as we speak with the royalties from her perennial workout DVD that will undoubtedly be rammed down our throats for the next three weeks! God love you Davina, I'm not sure where the nation would be without your latest fitness steps!
For those of you more concerned with winning pounds as opposed to losing them, then, of course, SportSIX must surely be your saviour! This, and every weekend, we give you the perfect excuse to slouch in front of several hours of sporting action and pray that your selections come good as the results flood in! Somebody WILL win £10,000 at some point so make sure you get involved as it genuinely could very well be you! Just imagine how many Davina DVDs you could buy with that!!!
